First Family Camping Trip

We had our first family camping trip over the weekend with my siblings. We headed southwest to Cambria, WI (near Portage) and stayed at Deer Creek Campground. Check them out at http://www.deercreekcampground.net. We had fun...Natalie really enjoyed the experience. The picture above shows Natalie with her cousins Brett and Even trying to set-up Rodeo Golf.

We survived a thunderstorm Friday night where a tree in the campground was struck by lightning. We were all able to enjoy karaoke on Saturday night. The girls sang "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" (out of key). Lee sang "Why Don't We Get Drunk" and I mentioned that John sang with Brett and Evan. It was nice to take a shower at home and sleep in my own bed on Sunday.

We were also able to get in a few baseball games as Tyler had a tournament in Portage. His team won two games and lost two games on Saturday morning and afternoon. He will know his stats if you ask. He's a walking ESPN encyclopedia of sports information.
